Subject: [PATCH v2 2/8] mm/compaction: correct last_migrated_pfn update in compact_zone

We record start pfn of last isolated page block with last_migrated_pfn. And
then:
1. We check if we mark the page block skip for exclusive access in
isolate_migratepages_block by test if next migrate pfn is still in last
isolated page block. If so, we will set finish_pageblock to do the rescan.
2. We check if a full cc->order block is scanned by test if last scan range
passes the cc->order block boundary. If so, we flush the pages were freed.

We treat cc->migrate_pfn before isolate_migratepages as the start pfn of
last isolated page range. However, we always align migrate_pfn to page block
or move to another page block in fast_find_migrateblock or in linearly scan
forward in isolate_migratepages before do page isolation in
isolate_migratepages_block.

Update last_migrated_pfn with pageblock_start_pfn(cc->migrate_pfn - 1)
after scan to correctly set start pfn of last isolated page range. To
avoid that:
1. Miss a rescan with finish_pageblock set as last_migrate_pfn does not
point to right pageblock and the migrate will not be in pageblock of
last_migrate_pfn as it should be.
2. Wrongly issue flush by test cc->order block boundary with wrong
last_migrate_pfn.
